The reason behind this is – Initially the integers are added and we get the L.H.S. as 50. But, as soon as a string is encountered it is appended and we get “50=” . Now the integers after ‘=’ are also considered as a string and so are appended.

To make the output 50=50, we need to add a bracket around the sum statement to overload the concatenation operation.

This will enforce the sum to happen before string concatenation as bracket as the highest precedence.
